'Personal Attacks' Prompt The O to Kill Richardson Comments

Looks like Portland lawyer Randy Ray Richardson is still just as contentious a figure as he was when we profiled him back in 2003.

The Oregonian has shut down the comments section on its Richardson story today because of what the daily calls "personal attacks" by commenters. The story reports that Richardson — a former Multnomah County prosecutor turned hot-shot defense lawyer who goes by the moniker "R-Cubed" — was sentenced to two years in prison for cheating a woman on her death bed.
